Just started out on a new webserver and giving ISPConfig a try as control panel. One of the features i would like to add to my customers is the APS Installer. As i understand this is like a one-click-installer so that a user without any server knowledge can install something as simple as wordpress. On a new install, using the Perfect install guide for ubuntu 18.04 (and running 18.04 LTS), the APS installer option is not showing under sites. Can anyone help me with the proper steps to get this working? Thanx in advance, John
APS installer is dead, that's why it got removed. the APS installer has got its packages from apscatalog.com but apscatalog stopped providing packages in 2019.
Btw, you can still enable it back in the current version, but it makes not much sense without having any recent packages to install them via aps.
As Till said, it is removed. But not in the current stable version. Did you install the git-stable version? If so, this is not recommended for production systems.
also the softaculous option is only for single-server ispconfig setups. they don't currently support a multi-server configuration.
I did the installation following the step by step of this link https://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-debian-10-nginx-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3.1/ The stable version is installed but does not contain APS Installer
You have 3.1dev installed and not the stable version, which is 3.1.15p3. But it does not matter in this case, the only difference would be that you would have an APS installer menu point without being able to install any current CMS as there are no packages from apscatalog.com anymore.
As Till said, it would be useless because APS is dead and you can't get the up to date packages anymore.
Yes. But you will probably get only some old packages from apscatalog.com or no packages at all anymore and installing old versions of cms systems is not recommended for security reasons.
See post #4. Besides that, we plan to develop a new app installer that does not depend on APS, but this will take some time.
All, I understand the APS installer has come to an end. Unfortunately, our customers often use this installer. For that reason I enabled the APS installer again via the config, but the installer gives an error message if I want to install a package. 28.10.2020 - 19:02 - WARNING - PHP Warning: mysqli_connect (): (HY000 / 1045): Access denied for user 'xxxxx' @ 'localhost' (using password: YES) in / var / www / clients / client697 / webxxx / web / install_scripts / db-util.php on line 53 Unable to connect to DB: Access denied for user 'xxxx' @ 'localhost' (using password: YES) Given that this error occurs on multiple servers, it will be related to the latest update of ISPCONFIG. Until a new installer is available I would like to use the old one. How can the above problem be solved? the xxx is for masking Thanks in advance. Ben
